بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والسماء والطارق
Waalssamai waalttariqi
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
وما أدراك ما الطارق
Wama adraka ma alttariqu
- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
النجم الثاقب
Alnnajmu alththaqibu
- The piercing Star!
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
إن كل نفس لما عليها حافظ
In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun
No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
فلينظر الإنسان مم خلق
Falyanthuri alinsanu mimma khuliqa
So let man consider from what he is created.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
خلق من ماء دافق
Khuliqa min main dafiqin
He is created from a gushing fluid
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
يخرج من بين الصلب والترائب
Yakhruju min bayni alssulbi waalttaraibi
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
إنه على رجعه لقادر
Innahu AAala rajAAihi laqadirun
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
يوم تبلى السرائر
Yawma tubla alssarairu
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
فما له من قوة ولا ناصر
Fama lahu min quwwatin wala nasirin
Then will he have no might nor any helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
والسماء ذات الرجع
Waalssamai thati alrrajAAi
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
والأرض ذات الصدع
Waalardi thati alssadAAi
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
إنه لقول فصل
Innahu laqawlun faslun
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
وما هو بالهزل
Wama huwa bialhazli
It is no pleasantry.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
إنهم يكيدون كيدا
Innahum yakeedoona kaydan
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
وأكيد كيدا
Waakeedu kaydan
And I plot a plot (against them).
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
فمهل الكافرين أمهلهم رويدا
Famahhili alkafireena amhilhum ruwaydan
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
